The Natural Solution to Contact Lens Discomfort
Contact lenses make the difference for 28 million people who want to see clearly in all directions. As convenient as contact lenses are, there are also some drawbacks. While many contact lens users are able to wear their lenses for days or weeks at a time with no problem, some individuals have been known to experience discomfort.
To address that discomfort, let’s look at how the eye and contact lens interact.
Contact lenses float on the surface of the delicate and complex tear film that covers the exposed parts of the eyeball, and they rely on the tear film’s moisture to maintain their pliability, integrity and adherence. However, most popular types of lenses deplete the tear film’s moisture content and therefore interfere with healthy tear film functioning.
When tear film moisture is depleted, the result can make the eyes feel uncomfortable. Discomfort can include itching, burning, irritation, eyestrain, and headache. Thankfully, soothing dry, irritated eyes, caused by contact lenses is a simple and logical choice: Simply add moisture to the tear film!
In the past, the only way to replace lost moisture to the eye was through the use of eye drops, which contain chemicals and have numerous drawbacks to use. But now there is a new solution!
In 2002, Bio-Logic Aqua Technologies Biomedical Research introduced Nature’s Tears EyeMist, the first effective, all-natural alternative to formulated eye drops for dry, irritated eyes. For the first time, millions of contact lens wearers are obtaining instant relief from dry, irritated eyes…without eye drops.
The most beneficial component of eye drops is the paraffin or oil that can serve as a sealer to slow tear film moisture loss. Eye drops are most effective as a moisture sealer when the tear film’s moisture content is at full capacity. For best results, apply Nature’s Tears EyeMist immediately before applying eye drops, and use the smallest amount of eye drops possible. Since Nature’s Tears EyeMist has no dosage limit, it may also be applied between eye drop applications, or when eye drops are not convenient.
